    Question Data Usage Question

    I just purchased a new data plan with a new internet company in my move.
    I plan on ONLY using it to cam.
    How much cam time per month could I do with 1 GB?
    Thanks in advance.

    1 GB is 1000 MB.

    On Streamate, you use about 1.5mb/s. 1 MB = 8mb

    So 1 GB will let you stream 5333 seconds, or about 88 minutes. That's if you do absolutely nothing else on the internet in the meantime.

    Padding for other random things, you get about 1 hour of camming with 1GB on your plan. You might be able to squeeze a few more minutes from a different site or using Skype, but not that much more.

    I second Katy, living remotely I can only use mobile wifi (albeit quite powerful at 5 upload) to cam with right now. My plan gives me 50GB a month and I burn through it like no one's business just from camming, I often have to top it up with 20GB extras twice a month so that is roughly 90GB a month (£100/$130) to splitcam Indie, AW, CC and SM only. It's a bugger camming on a plan that isn't unlimited and I can't wait to move into a real house with wired internet that is unlimited for half the price, that is the dream.

    In answer to your question Glam you will need a hell of a lot more data to cam long term.

    Thank you. The really good thing is that my upload speed increased from 5 to 6.5

    Many moons ago I did this and had a 1500 bill from the internet. Streaming sm, the very first encoder specs. I cant imagine what it is now
    Girl I cried hard but it was my first month and new to the internet, got some really nice CS and they knocked it down but still. the panic I went into was no joke I dont even think that was whole month, maybe a 2 week bill
